Re: Plugin dialog showing modules I don't want user to see.

Personally I do not use the standard NB Auto Update UI for NetBeans
Platforms Apps. You are not forced to, you know that, right ?

I find that there are often too many things I would like to change:   for
some apps updating should be purely a background task (without the user
having to do anything at all), for some apps I want full control over what
modules are shown to user, for some modules you may want to have some kind
of in-app purchase procedure, etc, etc.

As it turns out the two major apps I'm involved with have ditched (any type
of) Auto Update UI altogether. The reason is that there are actually no
options that I want the user to choose from, so no UI.

So instead of trying to get the standard Auto Update UI to do exactly what
you want then why not consider doing your own UI or consider if your app
needs any UI in this area at all. Just some thought.
